The European debt Bubble has burst, and the repricing of risk and debt cannot be put back in the bottle.

It’s really this simple, Europe: either rebel against the banks or accept decades of debt-serfdom. All the millions of words published about the European debt crisis can be distilled down a handful of simple dynamics. Once we understand those, then the choice between resistance and debt-serfdom is revealed as the onlychoice: the rest of the “options” are illusory.

It's Time for Congress to Stop Paying People Not to Work

Do we really want paying people not to work for 99 weeks – nearly two years – to be a permanent feature of the American economic system? Is that what the American people voted for in the historic landslide election of 2010? If not, then why are Republicans poised to – for the first time since the election – extend this program?

The economic case for nearly two years of unemployment benefits is extremely weak. While supporters tout the demand-side effect of the benefit checks being spent, they ignore the much larger supply-side effect of creating a significant disincentive for work and consequently for economic production. The same Keynesians who brought us trillions of failed stimulus and a mountain of debt tell us the paying people not to work is a good way to grow the economy. Common sense – and the data – say otherwise.

Help your friends and relatives stay informed by passing the digest on. In some cases I post things sent to me by readers I might not have posted on my own, to get ideas circulating.

We were talking to a friend in Scotland, who’s daughter, 47, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. She said they were really fast in responding. She said it’s only been five weeks since she went in, and she got the diagnosis last week—it takes a few weeks to get the test results. They will have a treatment plan for her this week, they hope. We didn’t have the heart to tell her that in the USA’s much maligned health care system, she would already be on chemo, and lung cancer patients have a higher survival rate than in the UK. All we could do was add her to our prayers.

The saddest thing for me personally in 44 Obama is the reality that he has turned America into an old Soviet joke in his regime is the Kremlin and the puppy press is Pravda.

Not since Al Gore claimed invention of the internet has such a lying scoundrel been propped up by the press in B. Hussein Obama. The reality is you do not matter any more as Obama and his lap dog press simply manufacture propaganda to suit the regime's rose colored dogma.

What in the world is Barack Obama thinking? The United States of America is falling apart all around him, and yet he decides to take a 17 day Hawaiian vacation. Does he even understand that he is the leader of the free world? Does he even understand that this country is mired in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression?

Dec 05, 2011 02:17 pmNow more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national [...]

Report: Brian Terry was Murdered Because of a Government Tip

Dec 05, 2011 02:21 pmSince the December 2010 shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, the ATF, and its Department of Justice masters have represented the tragedy as a chance encounter between Terry’s patrol unit and armed, illegal alien drug-runners in the Arizona desert. But new information makes it clear that Attorney General Eric Holder’s DOJ has labored [...]

Video: Govt Says Hunters, Extreme Couponers are Potential Terrorists

Dec 05, 2011 02:23 pmHow much does the government fear its own citizens? So much so that guidelines for spotting potential terrorists include anyone who has more than seven days of food in his home, anyone who is missing fingers, and anyone who posses multiple firearms or weather-proof ammunition. These criteria are so broad they put every hunter, sportsman, [...]

A few minutes of your time can make a BIG impact. This is a very limited obligation opportunity to help preserve government-by-consent-of-the-people in St. Clair and neighboring counties—perhaps your own.

A multi-county Contract to establish a Corporation to develop I-69 as a NAFTA corridor is now before several local counties, cities, townships and villages. The Contract is open-ended and voluntarily forms regional administrative bureaucracy with governmental powers. The power of the people to control use of their own land and all land within local government boundaries is at risk. Under the proposal, direct representative government is diminished and local elected bodies are set up to serve as little more than a rubber stamp. The lure? The promise of jobs.

Around a hundred local citizens have attended two recent meetings before the St. Clair County Board of Commissioners. All have been opposed to being committed to this Contract. The concerns expressed have been many. Not even onecitizen has spoken in favor of signing the Contract. Beyond doubting the number of jobs it is likely to facilitate, most stand against it on principle alone, recognizing it as a latent threat to freedom. It is obvious, however, that some commissioners are determined to sign the Contract no matter what. Will you help pack out the next meeting and help us get their attention?

As fellow freedom activists, we will gladly return the favor when an overwhelming show of public support (or opposition) is critical to your particular cause.

Defrauding the American Taxpayer“President Obama’s stimulus program includes tax cuts for low income workers,” said Rubenstein. “The purpose, of course, is to put money back into taxpayer’s hand so they’ll spend it and boost the economy. But thanks to the EITC, much of the “tax relief” will go to people who have never paid a cent of tax – and may have already defrauded the government of huge sums each year......http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty720.htmby Frosty Wooldridge

Illegal alien deportations suspended for hundreds of thousandsUnder Crane, the ICE agents' union gave ICE chief John Morton an unanimous "Vote of No Confidence" last year as a result of Morton's pro-illegal alien policies. The outrageous federal decree is clearly part of President Barack Obama’s stealth amnesty plan that’s already spared thousands of illegal immigrants from removal and will surely allow many more to remain in the U.S., claim several law enforcement officials......http://www.newswithviews.com/NWV-News/news288.htmby NWV News

Robert Hall, has written this comprehensive, understandable, brief but concise book that explains the dire situation America and Americans are currently facing. It is nicely chapter-ed by each issue we are facing, staying focused on that one issue until the next chapter. I really appreciated how he laid the book out as I had to stop after each subject to ponder what was said.

Chapter 6: What Will a Collapse Look Like was very informative a gives one a vision of what civil society will look like after a collapse. I don't think most people realize how quickly lawlessness appears on the scene once chaos starts.
